Or perhaps there's a relationship between a border length and its radius* - some sort of eye-pleasing ratio? In which case, only the width would have to be the same. *Someone more interested than me could perhaps see if any relationship exi

I don't really think you can legitimately take revenge on them or sabotage the site in any manner. Plus they will keep on building these sites, with or without you. If you are lucky, there may be some procedure in your country for reporting

Firstly I'm glad we don't have attack ads like this in the UK. Secondly I was curious as to how a consumer group managed to get enough cash together to make this. A quick search reveals http://techrights.org/2009/05/04/consumer-watchdog-ex

I do feel puzzlement at people submitting utterly unrelated spam to this site. Partially I suspect there's no need to be choosy if it costs next to nothing to submit here and partially because having another site linking to the spammy site

Agreed. Adobe seems to focus on putting out new features first and fixing existing work second. I've seen it before in companies whose development schedules are dictated by sales. "Hey, I spoke to this guy, he said he'd buy 100 units if we
